Just noticed this article, it's an excellent introduction to computer hardware.
It might be a good idea to mention that there are differences in in interface compatibilities. PCI/PCIE, SCSI/IDE/SATA1.5GB/SATA3.0GB, AMD/Intel, Processor Sockets/Interfaces, etc.
For someone thinking about making their first computer this is definitely something to ask about, either from a friend, or a forum.
